In case you didn’t know, there is a law which specifically states that people are not allowed to keep dogs chained outside the house for more than nine hours! This law also says that dogs can be kept chained for a maximum of 30 minutes if the weather is freezing cold, but the husky’s owners didn’t seem to care.

In addition, the owners also said that the husky’s name is Cloud. Let’s see what Cloud’s rescuers have to say about meeting him.

“This dog wasn’t acting like a dog at all, he’s just a mess. He’s walking into things. I don’t think he’d ever been inside anywhere in his life, so he was just so out of sorts”, said Eleanor Garret who is one of the rescuers. Luckily, Garret came up with this amazing idea.
